Off-grid opportunities and sustainability in Indonesia: Sumba Iconic Island: 100% renewable energy by 2025 Sandra Winarsa, Project Manager Green Energy (Sumba), HIVOS Southeast Asia
Sumba Iconic Island 100% renewable energy by 2025 An initiative of the 2010 Indonesia-Netherlands Joint Working Group on Energy Sandra Winarsa, Project Manager Green Energy (Sumba) Solar & Off-Grid Renewables Southeast Asia, 25 Nov 2015
100% renewable energy Our approach: Holistic, long-term energy development Combined energy access and development Inclusive, bottom-up planning All technologies, all financial models Multi-stakeholder Inspirational goals Joint vision and ambition, not a fixed plan A groundbreaking, globally replicable initiative to provide energy to people and businesses.
Why Sumba? Remote island, high costs for fossil fuels Low density population of 660,000 High poverty rate: average incomes are ¼ of national average Low access to electricity: 24.5% Wide variety of potential renewable energy sources: wind, solar, hydro, biogas and biomass Support by provincial, local government and PLN Transport links to Jakarta via Bali or Kupang
Government the private sector local civil society multilaterals INGOs international donors
Progress with stakeholder engagement MoUs with MEMR and regional and local stakeholders Research and feasibility studies Demonstration projects Regular stakeholder and working group meetings to coordinate policies and activities Creation of formal task force structure and road map under MEMR Decree Roadmap workstreams 1.Wind power plant grid/off 2.Hydro grid/communal 3.Solar PV grid/communal/off grid 4.Grid extension & integration 5.Small-scale hydropower 6.Household biogas 7.Improved cooking stoves 8.Biofuels new feedstocks 9.Biomass gasification 10.Biogas waste streams 11.Technical assistance 12.Capacity building
Current Achievement By August 2014 Electrification ratio : ~40% Renewable contribution at energy mix : 10% (4.87 MW)
Renewable Energy Potential 1. RoR Hydropower Potential for RoR Hydropower : 7.1 MW Installed: 12 unit Microhydro/ 3.421 KW 2. Storage Pump Hydropower Potential : 8.5 MW Installed : 0 unit 3. Solar Power Potential: 10 MW Installed (since 2012): - 39 unit (in community mini-grid)/9,119 KWp - 14,829 unit (panel) /439 KWp - 3 unit Solar powered water pump/6,6 KW 4. Windpower Potential: 10 MW Installed: 100 unit/50 KW 5. Biomass Potential: 10 MW Installed: 1 unit/ 30 KW 6. Biogas Potential: 8,962,870 m2 Installed: 1173 unit/ 7946 m3 (since 2009) * Based on research data by Hivos, ADB and M&E rapid assessment report 2011-2014
On-grid activities Electrification ratio increased from 24% to 37% in 4 years PLN, independent producers: Increased hydro capacity BPPT: 500kW centralized solar PV system in West Sumba Sewatama, Hivos: 850kW wind turbine (in preparation) MEMR: 1MW biomass plant (in preparation 2015-2016) PLN: Grid extensions and improvements Feasibility studies for pumped water storage options by AFD/CR
Isolated grids Only 154 of 352 villages in Sumba are electrified MHP Village grid Virtual grid extension by battery driven lighting Community-based solutions Micro-hydros shop Revitalization of broken mini-grid wiring range walking distance range Strengthen community capacity for OM 1.5 km 4-6 km
Off grid PLN s solar home systems (SEHEN): good penetration, but need to ensure sustainability Energy kiosks providing sales and extension services Domestic biogas from Hivos/SNV for clean cooking and high quality, affordable fertilizer Solar PV irrigation pumps for farmers groups Schools electrification with charging station extended services
Economic development Increased yields from irrigation and organic fertilizers Improved options for post-harvest processing and handling Sector development in biogas, biomass, etc. Power in communities for productive use and micro-enterprises Improved grid reliability provides new commercial opportunities
Key factors ways to move forward Robust improvements towards existing policies to attract investment Creates enabling environment for small renewable business development (micro IPPs) Removing barriers for 2020 roadmap acceleration Strengthen and continuing building capacity of local stakeholders Promoting gender balance active participation Addressing people s energy needs beyond lighting Replicable concept aligned with stakeholder interests in other islands
